for tbe CHILDREN.
Ten RObber Toes.

There is a story that have been told
And it's Just as old as babies are old;
For sweet Mother Eve as every one knows,
Told to her babies the tale of the toes
Told to her babies how ten little toes
Each one as pink as the pinltest pink rose
Once on a time were naughty and bad.
And sorrow and trouble in consequence had.
How this big toe wanted butter and bread
After his mamma had put him to bed;
And this, lying next said " 'Sposing we 20
Down to the pantry and get it, you know?'
And this little toe cried, Come along quick
Let's sugar the butter ever so thick"
And this naughty toe said, " Jelly for me,
Top of the butter and sugar, you see"
And this little toe cried, Goody, let's go,
Wen slip down the stairs so quiet and slow"
So ten robber toes all tipped with red
Stole silently cut of their snowy white bed;
While this wicked toe. so jolly and fat,
Helped nine naughty toes to pitty.pat.pat,
Along the big hall, with the pillars of white,
And down the back stairs devoid of light
Then this little toe got a terrible scare,
For he thought in the dark of a grizzly bear
And this little toe said, Nurse must he right
Bout gobbles and witches living at night"
And this little toe said, A fox may be hid
In that hat-rack box, right under the lid"
And this little toe cried, " Dearie me. oh
Lions and tigers are coming, know"
Then mamma came out with the beautiful light,
Caught ten robber toes all ready for flight
Yes she caught and she kissed those ten robber to
Till redder they than any red rose.

The Experience of Mrs. Peters.

Mrs. Peters had ills,
Mrs Peters had chills,
Mrs Peters was sure she was going to die;
They dOsed her with pills,
With powders and squis,
With remedies wet and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But none of them cured her,
Their names and their number nobody could tell
And she soon might have died
But some Pellets Were tried
That acted like magic and then she got well.
The magic Pellets were DIR. Pierce
Pleasant Purgative Pellets 0he original
Little Liver Pills.. They cured Mrs
Peters, and now she wouldn't be with
out them.

In these windy and house and yard
cleaning times, when the accumulated
rubbish of the past winter is being
burned, it behooves everybody to be
on the lookout for fire, as a spark
might cause the destruction of the
whole town. Rubbish should be
thoroughly water soaked after being
burned, as it is liable to burn again
even after it has been seemingly oaI
for several days.
